Whispering Forest Hotels near Big Bear City

"The property was under major construction. The cabin was Small compared to what we thought we paid for. It also said it had a lake view, it did not. The bed was the worst we've ever slept in and the pillows left something to be desired. The best part is the common area having grass, bbq's and a fire pit. I will say that the staff was very friendly and welcoming. "

"Everything and the Staff was amazing."

"Everything was great on Valentines day weekend. Was able to check-in early. Very friendly staff. Room was clean and nice. Parking was great. Me and my girlfriend had a wonderful time visiting Big Bear and Arrowhead. Perfect Arrowbear spot. This is my 2nd time here."

"The view was great, with docs. Parking was great, close to room. Freindly staff. Moms complained about the sher not having handles, shes handicapped, and the remote didnt work, was missing a battery cover."

"Request the top floor - paper thin walls and extremely creaky! Upstairs neighbors went to bed after midnight and got up very early. The pillows were too high and hard."

"Such a lovely stay; very clean, friendly staff and local to many places to see and walk to. Must stay!"

"Room was clean"

"Hotel room keys failed a lot- had to go into lobby multiple times to have addressed"

"Arrived and nobody was at front desk for check in. No sign saying “be right back” or anything. Waited quite awhile and finally called hotel main number. Was told he went to lunch and keys were on desk. That’s fine but why didn’t you text me to let me know that before we arrived? Or left a note at the desk? Would have prevented confusion and waiting around. Also did not get the room as described on the website. Even though the hotel was empty yet they couldn’t have given us a room with a partial view as described? We had a view of an empty lot. I’m convinced when you book with a third party like Expedia or Hotels.com they intentionally give you the worst rooms no matter what room type you booked. No info given about anything including how to use heater etc so took awhile to figure it out and then it stopped working in the middle of the night and we were freezing. Texted hotel about this since they say you can text them for any needs during your stay, yet nobody ever responded. It was as if the hotel wasn’t physically staffed by anyone. That’s fine for some people but we like having people welcome us at arrival and be available if things come up during our stay. Don’t think that is much to ask. Ever since COVID this contactless everything has remained and it’s not for us. If we knew there would be no staff or service and it was fully self serve then we could have decided to stay elsewhere, which now we know. The hotel has cute decor and the bed is comfy so I’ll give them that. "
